Summary
In this chapter, you've been introduced to the wonderful world of the Joomla! CMS. You've learned about:
- The difference between building a website the traditional way and using a CMS. You don't have to create HTML documents (web pages) one by one, instead you use a web application to develop and maintain your site. Using the tools and features of the CMS, you can create more powerful sites that are easier to maintain.
- The benefits of using Joomla!, such as its ease of use, the ability to add extra features, and the ability to change the look and feel of the site fast.
- The structure of this book; step-by-step, you'll learn how to build a realistic example site with Joomla!.
That's enough theory for now—let's get started! In the next chapter, you'll install Joomla! and get it up and running. After that, you'll get familiar with the way Joomla! works and start building.
